Sega was so ahead of their time...

I totally forgot about this game. Thank you! I love space harrier. I will try this on my emulator today..

You should mention that emulated like that it doesn't include the scanlines that would show on the arcade screen. Scanlines would makes the graphics better looking. Emu's can also emulate the scanline but you won't be 100% sure it would truly reflect the arcade screen version.

The art direction in Strider Hiryu arcade (and ports) is fascinating to this day

The Genesis version lacks detail, but the darker colors look more pleasant.

One of the greatest videogames of all time!! NES & Super NES were the glory days of gaming!

very nice video. I like your analysis

I see inspirations from Activision's River Raid (though they used a "jet") in this game. Narrow levels. Occasional split pathes that reconnect. Flying vehicle solely shooting at ground based objects. It even has the top down perspective.

This is pretty impressive. The SNES really does hold its own in this comparison.

this sounds like its written and read by an AI

Out of all arcade games Thunderblade impressed me most technically when it came out, the 3D effect scaling was incredible, a big step up on Outrun or Afterburner. Not so impressive on the Master System unfortunately.

Nice video! However, how could you allow all that bilinear filtering in the intro? :P

I have this on the 3DS collection, its really cool with the 3D effect

Sega first had the "super scaling" in Turbo, but the projenitor to super scaling can be found in Sega's Buck Rogers arcade game.

Nice new channel ! 👾

Nice work, as usual! Keep up the good work. I like the sprite work in this game, pretty clean.

The SNES version was pretty good. It was a valiant, faithful effort but the YM2151 arcade soundtrack is undefeated. The leads, basslines, drums and orchestral hits were just on another level. Ueko Harumi did a phenomenal job with composing both versions' music. She is one of my favorite musicians of all time.

Wow, love the review and the graphics analysis.

Awesome review. Love retro SEGA games. Missed out on this one, but there's always emulation.

I love the music in this game. This is something you don't get with modern games and musicians. People see action game and they think they have to write techno or rock music for it which is so generic. Double Dragon 1 and 2 had the same kind of vibes.

Really nice detailed video, I hope this Channel grows fast because it deserves it. Well done and keep going 💙👌

I Still Remember how Realistic the Graphics was,. after playing only NES Games for a while. It was stunning. Something i love about Castlevania 4 , it is not an Comedy genre Game. Its more like an Horror typ Game. The Entrance to the Castle and the Cellar Level Blowed my Mind. Truly one of my all time favorites . Thanks for the Video,. bringing back Good Memorys of our Childhood. I play'd this game almost every day at an time in my life and Never get bored of it.

Oh man, I never paid attention! I only looked at enemies, trying to beat them!

It would have been nice to get some sprite scaling in

Genesis had awesome arcade ports better then SNES, especially shmups. Some of the enemies even looked better on the Genesis 🧐

The answer is no, it would not sound better. But it would sound like a very solid approximation. And a game isn't just music, so I think we'd need to hear them side by side with all the music plus all the in-game sound fx at once to get a better idea. Also, best to keep in mind the Genesis version was made with literally more than three decades of time to work on the most advanced sound drivers and to hone everything to perfection there. The SNES version ain't even using its Dolby Surround sound option as one way it could immediately be even better in 2024+, never mind what might be possible if using the most advanced sound drivers that can be made now, the highest quality samples possible, plus over three decades of learning and such. So, yeah, I don't think we're comparing F-Zero audio like for like here, and I think the SNES would win under equal conditions. PS. I think we should also consider what I said above again regarding a game not just being music, because what we really should compare is the best version of full F-Zero the Genesis can manage next to the best full version of F-Zero the SNES can manage (which is far beyond even the current version), and then I think any debate would be instantly silenced--because that's really what this is all about at the end of the day.

Now your playing with power !Super power!. looks like the youtube algorithm gods did'nt bless you as much as they did for your epic castleVania at least it looks like you got some more subscribers. they always give me just under 100 and than send everyone else to my most popular videos even on FB

While the Genesis cover is neat I much prefer the Snes version, the instruments just work better

Pensei que o de 32X teria fase extra igual ao do Mega Drive. Decepcionei.

Great game review

My favorite SNES game. Thanks for making this. It was awesome!

Love the music in this game ever since it came out. I would chill on the options screen playing tracks to my hearts content.

ARCADE: 1989. SUPER NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM: 1991.

Great video, i hoped you might cover the weird labels above some dwellings in the genesis version 🤔

Was amazing how good this game sounded back then. Gameplay n graphics insane!! I like how it plays better on SNES

Bravo

Everything about this game is a work of Art for the ages, and this trailer makes me excited to play it again.

Nice job bro, Mega Man X is the best human being alive. Keep up the good work!

Cool

It’s still my most played game 30 years later

Go ninja go

The snes version was ruined by terrible slowdown.

That SNES twang or twarmp instrument is where its all. The same sound system Konami used with Sunset Riders as well. Did such a better job on both games on the snes vs the arcade.

Love the trailer. Awesome sauce!

Amazing well detailed review. You make by far the best comparison videos without a bunch of gimmicks, and the editing is always top notch. when i watch your videos i not only take it all in - but I'm also telling myself "this person put a ton of effort into this" your view count is criminal as channels like VCdecide are having way less content and i could give less OAF about the AI voice as it never bothered me and it actually sounds really good, clean and nice on the ears. btw this whole games audio samples come from a Korg M1

I'm only halfway through, so I don't know if you mentioned this, but the dithering on the Genesis port likely wouldn't be noticeable if played on a real CRT. The dithering would look blended and is a sort of "cheat" on the Genesis to get more color variations out of the system than what's capable, or even achieve a fake "alpha transparency" effect. On a CRT, these effects appear flawless because of the natural pixel blending, which looks even better if you use a composite cable.
